This means it will compare submitted work against a host of databases and highlight where similarities have been found in text.

- To add a Turnitin assignment to your course, Turn editing on, then click on the Add an activity or resource link and select Assignment (Turnitin).
- Enter a Turnitin Assignment Name and Summary (use for brief instructions - displays at the top of the Assignment page).
- Some settings we'd particularly like to flag up:
- Anonymous Marking - Student names will be anonymised until the post date and can only be de-anonymised individually and by providing a reason. Once a submission is made, anonymous marking cannot be disabled.
Originality Report Options > Store Student Papers :
Standard Repository: student papers submitted to this assignment are stored in Turnitin and checked against other students' submissions within this assignment, as well as other sources.
- No repository - (not stored in Turnitin, for drafts/testing): student papers are checked against other sources, but not against other submissions to this assignment and the paper is not stored in Turnitin. Use this for testing Turnitin and for drafts, so other (standard repository) submissions won't be matched to it.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save and display.
